SUPPORT FOR KETTLES, 81.0.

SPECIFIGA'IION forming part of Letters Patent No. 437,486, dated September 30, 1890.

I Application filed August 24, 1889. $erial No. 321,91 l. (No model.)

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, Vrcron C-.DR1"ESBACH, a citizen of the United States, residing in the city and county of Philadelphia, State of Pennsylvania, have invented a new and useful Improvement in Supports for Kettles, 820., which improvement is fully set forth in the following specification and accompanying drawings.

My invention relates to a bracket or support for tea and other kettles, buckets, &c.; and it consists of a crane capable of horizontal and vertical movements and provided with an adjustable section, as will be more fully hereinafter set forth.

Figure 1 represents a perspective view of a bracket or support embodying my invention and shown supporting a kettle under a faucet. Fig. 2 represents a side elevation of the same.

Similar letters of reference indicate corresponding parts in the two figures.

Referring to the drawings, A designates a back support or bracket provided with horizontal cars 13, on which are mounted and pivoted horizontal ears 0, formed integrally with a casting D, having vertical ears E, and a depending plate F, forming a stop. Between the ears of said casting D is pivoted an ear G, having an arm H, formed with a screw-socket J, and a depending lug K, to bear against the stop F of said casting D.

The top surface of arm H is constructed to support a telescopic or sliding arm L, the outer end of which is formed with a hook M. A slot Nis made in said arm L to allow a clamping-screw P to pass therethrough into' the socket J of the arm H, and by means of said screw the arm L is held in adjusted position on the arm H.

The ear G of arm H forms a knuckle with the casting D and allows said arm to be thrown up against the upper part of the cast ing D, which is set back, so that the arm H is inclined rearward or past the center, and is sustained in an elevated position. (Shown by the dotted lines, Fig. 2.) When said arm is lowered, the lug K thereof bears against stop F, and is thereby braced or sustained.

The casting D has a lateral movement, so as to place the arm H in different horizontal positions. The arm L may be moved in or out, so as to lengthen or shorten the distance of said arm L from the outer end of the arm H. When the arm H is folded back, as shown by the dotted lines in Fig. 2, said arm L may also be drawn inward or shortened.

The device is adapted to be mounted adja-- cent to a sink having a faucet, or in a similar position elsewhere. I

Vhen in use, the hook M of arm L may support any suitable Vessel to 'be filled with water directly under a faucet, and thereby obviates the necessity of holding the same by hand.

The device is convenient, may be easily handled, and is of great service for kitchen or other purposes.

Having thus described my invention, What I claim as new, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is=- 1. In a bracket for kettles, (he, a back support having horizontal cars, a casting D, hav ing horizontal ears in the rear thereof pivoted to said ears of the back support, and also having front vertical ears, and an extensible arm pivoted in said front vertical ears of the said casting D, substantially as described.

2. In a bracket for kettles, &c., a back support having horizontal ears, a casting D, comprising horizontal ears in the rear thereof pivoted to said ears of the back support, front vertical ears E, and a depending stop F, and an extensible arm pivoted between ears E and having an outer hooked end and a depending lug K at its inner end to bear against the stop F of said casting D, substantially as described.
